In the spring of 2006, from their humble home in Melbourne, Ash Miles and Sophie Best launched Mistletone Records & Touring into the world with the release of House Arrest by Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti simultaneously with Ariel’s first Australian tour.

Their mission (then & now): to work with music they love, treat people right, and give the musicians they work with total artistic freedom whilst they work in the background to facilitate the proliferation of their music and art out into the world –– especially here in Australia.

From those wide-eyed beginnings, Mistletone has grown into a thriving indie touring and events company and much respected label. Their catalogue of 40-odd titles includes artists such as Beach House, Animal Collective’s Panda Bear and Avey Tare, Black Dice and Toro Y Moi, plus a local roster of some of the awesome artists to be found in the amazing musical community of our hometown of Melbourne –– and a few from across the pond in New Zealand.
